guy is 32 and declining...basically no chance of being on the team next year at his salary....if someone snaps him up off of waivers (will most likely be falcons or pats) then they pick up the tab for the rest of the year
what's the point of keeping him again?

You are a fukkin clown.
Babin was easily their best pass rusher on a team where pass-rushing is a definite need.
Now they are left with no pass rush at all. Literally no one on the roster is able to get consistent pressure on a QB.
Andy Reid just sealed his fate with this pathetic move.
Yeah, Babin may be 32 and having a down year but the whole team had a down year. It doesn't mean the guy can't still play.
Watch him go to another team and look like Superman.

Lurie and Roseman, they are cleaning the house and want to see if the young core or future are talented or not, in Babin´s case they want to play Brandon Graham. Is he good? I don´t know, it´s time to find out.
They should give Nnamdi Asomugha a rest and allow Curtis Marsh to start at cornerback. And they should see what safety David Sims is all about.
Reid has always made these decisions before. Not now, now they are relieving the coach of any major decisions, if Reid objects, then Lurie has his reason to fire the coach. That won´t happen, he will fire him at the end of the season and Reid will oblige playing the young players.

Well if this is the case the Eagles are in real trouble.
Howie Roseman is a fukkin moron if his recent first round draft picks are any indication. Danny Watkins and Fletcher Cox. Both first round picks and Watkins can already be considered a bust. If Cox plays next year like he did this one, he will officially be a bust as well.
Eagles are in some real trouble.

What's the point of winning games now if there's no chance of going to the playoffs?
Babin wasn't going to be around next year anyway, so why not see if they can save some money? Nor will Vick or Asomugha unless they both take MAJOR pay cuts AND the new coach wants them.
Let the young guys play for experience, sign a couple big time guys with all that cap space they'll have and use the 1st pick on a T.

Makes sense. They're out of it and his time is limited. They figure they cut their losses and someone will probably pick him up and take the salary. Smart business move.

The guy was a horrible run defender, was only interested in getting to the QB. If the play was a run he wasn't interested. He was a short-lived product of the wide 9 gimmick which obviously isn't working.

Agree, Roseman is no good for this team, I don´t like him either, but have faith bro, Lurie will start from scratch and we will have a solid team in the short run, you´ll see. I just want the Reid era to be over and start again.

OK so basically we have come to the concensus that this move signifies that the Eagles have officially given up on the season?
Take a sniff boys.....take some more sniffs.......you smell that?
That's the smell of money that's going to be made betting against the Eagles for the rest of the season.

Thought it was common knowledge that Reid is the Executive Vice President of Football Operations, aka The Decision Maker. Blaming Roseman for Reid's picks is comical.

Maybe. But their current state will be cooked into the line.
And of course their season is over at 3-8. They could win out (oh, who are we kidding, they can't...but for argument's sake) and they still will not make the playoffs. It's definitely going to take 9 wins (and probably then some tiebreakers) to make the NFC playoffs.

Actually the rumor was that Reid's power was partially limited after the power struggle he had with Joe Banner. Apparently, Banner brought up some very unflattering things to say about Reid to Lurie and Lurie supposedly made the decision that Roseman had to at least have a say in future moves, including drafting.
Take it for what it's worth.

So let the books make the line whatever they want. They are going to lose by 20+ and the line isn't going to be 20.

holy shit you figured it out! way to go dipshit
at 3-8 it's pretty obvious theyre trying to get snaps for the young guys and the fact that you think babin single handedly makes as much of a difference as you think he does proves you know nothing about football....stop betting right now for your own good

Dumb timing, but who the F cares at this point. Seems like it would have made more sense to keep the guy and trade him for a sack of dog shit in the off-season, but I guess they are being proper with him in giving him a chance to go play for a winner. Guys like Vinny Curry should be getting PT now in this lost season any way.
Asomugha & Vick can enjoy their tickets out of town when the season is over. Not sure what the F happened to Asomugha, but the guy can't cover his own shadow any more.

they would get less in the offseason for him than theyd get if someone signs him now and theyre absolved of the rest of the year"s salary
what would an overpaid 33 yr old d lineman catch? a sixth round pick?

It's still something. They f-ing held on to Asante Samuel to get a 7th. Doesn't really bother me. They have made so many dumb moves this year. I think you can tell the panic button has been fully hit by Andy Reid. Never seen any thing like this during his tenure with the mid-season firing of the person responsible for keeping your team in games [Castillo] and now this. I'm starting to get a weird feeling that Reid isn't going to get shit canned after the season.

He is going to end up on the Pats. Its their typical move, pick up a guy with great potential on the cheap.
